Ligo, or Summer solstice day (in Latvian Jāņi) falls on the shortest night of the year – Summer solstice night.
Ligo is perhaps the most ancient holiday in Latvia. 800 years ago, when the crusaders came, this holiday has already been here.
Moreover, it was impossible to force people to give up on a Ligo holiday incomprehensible to the Catholic Church, when the pagans for some reason jumped over the fires and collected various herbs.
So the church had to come to terms with the Ligo holiday, which has been celebrated by the people of Latvia for centuries.
Ligo is also celebrated by other nations. Only it is called differently: Janov’s Day, Ivan Kupala’s Day, etc. This holiday is very ancient and associated with ancient farming traditions, with rituals, beneficial harvests, soil fertility, natural offspring of livestock.

The 1100AD team wholeheartedly congratulates all the players on the upcoming Holiday and we wish that peace, love and kindness always reign in your families and hearts.

In honor of this holiday - from June 20 to July 14, new items, promotions, games and attractive offers are waiting for you!

MINI GAME - FESTIVE TABLE
Mini-game "Festive table" - it is time to prepare for the holiday and set the table for the guests! To complete the task, you need to collect special artifacts that can be obtained for the exploration in temporary locations. The artifacts need to be inserted into the appropriate slots on the festive table. When all parts are in their places, the player receives the specified reward. List of rewards can be shuffled for gold.


For each player, statistics are kept about how many festive tables have been laid. At the end of the holidays, the TOP 10 best players will get a prize. Your place in the top you can see in the TOP statistics.

In the Mini game "festive table" there is also a mid-server competition!
TOP-20 best players among all servers that will gain the most points in the mini-game will receive valuable prizes:
the city of Manzanares, a bonus point, a bonus location, and various other gifts.

ATTENTION! Found parts of the table can no longer be sold or transferred!

We remind you that in order to get into the top 20, you must comply with the following conditions:
The number of artefacts found by the player must be greater than the number of tables collected multiplied by 6.
Applying this game formula to players who have truly earned the recognition they deserve for earning worthy prizes. This time, the coefficient for participation in the mid-server is also 6.
But, this time, the number of found players with artifacts will be selected. Thus, if a player has found 600 artifacts, this will correspond to 100 tables, even if in fact he has 200 tables.
If this number of tables (i.e. 100) is enough to receive a cross-server prize, then the player will receive it.


NEW TIME SOLDIERS


For the duration of the celebration, old acquaintances will appear in the game - the Huntsman and the Horse Huntsman. This year, the Green Forest Archer will be added to them. Soldiers can be obtained for a mini-game, purchased through promotions, or received as a gift. The soldiers will serve until September, after which they are automatically removed.


SUMMER COLLECTION
Janisovy Eve - Herbal (or Green) day, on this day, girls and women collected flowers and medicinal herbs, which at this time are especially rich in vitamins: clover, sage, chamomile, mint, valerian, St. John's wort. From these wildflowers, the girls made bouquets to give them to Janis' "father" and "mother", as well as to his namesakes. The house was decorated with cut branches of young oaks, mountain ash and birches (especially corners, gates, windows and beds). Oak wreaths are especially revered.

And we suggest you to collect a collection of summer meadow herbs that have bloomed in all fields and meadows, and get valuable prizes!

Now for the details!
In all temporary locations for research and for completing special quests, you can get a Simple collector chest. You can also purchase a Premium Collection Chest. It is important to know that simple collectible chests, unlike premium ones, cannot be transferred to another player.


Open chests in a special tab “Collection”
In the chests there are 2 meadow grasses and a nice bonus in the form of gold, diamonds and other bonuses pleasant to the player’s heart.
These herbs are not simple - collected before Ligo, they have a special power!
Total 5 levels of herbs.
By collecting them, you fill out a special album.


If you do not have enough herbs to complete the collection, you can create them.
To do this, grind their essence through the menu. Do not be afraid to rub the herbs, once it falls out, it will remain in the collection, only repeated herbs can be grinded!


Having rubbed the grass, we go into the Collider section and begin to try your luck: you can choose the level of grass to be created, and also, paying extra gold, increase the chance of a rarer occurrence.


Collecting herbs through the collider can still fail


You can switch the type of grass being created or try to create this level again.
If you need grass, which is definitely not in your collection yet, use the runes that can be found by exploring some locations.


Each level of the collection has its own rune. Be careful!

But remember: the amount of runes used to create herbs is limited to 10, so use them wisely to create the ones you need.
If during the creation, the creation was unsuccessful, then the rune, gold and essence will be spent, but the attempt will not be counted.

Tiara of Berengaria of Navarre and the level of the winter residence

In the Blacksmith you can find a new unique jewelry - Tiara of Berengaria of Navarre.
Using this decoration will increase the level of the winter residence by +1 level.

Historical reference
Berengaria was the eldest daughter of King Sancho VI the Wise and Sancha of Castile, daughter of King Alfonso VII of Castile and León and Berengela of Barcelona.
Like many queens of the Middle Ages, very little is known about Berengaria, because chroniclers paid little attention to them.
Due to the proximity of Navarre to the south of France, the princess was brought up and grew up in an atmosphere of Provencal culture rather than Spanish. Her appearance from the descriptions of medieval authors is that she had dark eyes and hair, and was beautiful, which, however, is the standard description of the appearance of royal daughters at that time. The English chronicler Richard Devize wrote that she was more intelligent than beautiful. Like many aristocrats of that time, she wrote poetry, studied music and sewing. With her future husband, Richard the Lionheart (at that time still Count of Poitou), Berengaria met around 1180 at a tournament in Pamplona, ​​where Richard was invited by her brother, Sancho VII.
In 1195, Berengaria inherited Montreal from her father.


In the holiday tree, you can get drawings of a treehouse in the lottery - a favorite pastime of all children, as well as get valuable prizes in the holiday dungeon.

For lovers of research, we offer an exciting quest - Find a dryad.
